How to change air filter on 2000 528i?

[yunqili]

It seems very easy to DIY from Bentley BMW 5 Series (E39) Service Manual. But 2000 528i's air filter housing is different and I have no idea how to open it. I could not find similar topics here. Any instructions? A picture would be great helpful! Thanks!

It's probably the kind that slides out (up) like a drawer?
There'll be 2 clips/tabs, one on each side. Push them in and pull up.
It takes a little force if it hasn't been opened in a while but be careful since it's all plastic.
